Self reflection from Fernando


  During this trip in Japan, I had a great time and learned a lot about Japanese cultures. We get to visit many local restaurants because of our Japanese drinking culture project. It is always pleasing to see how those staffs treat the customers with hospitality and kindness. I heard Japanese service industry is one of the most successful countries before I came to Japan, but it is still shocking to observe to dedication they put in their work. While we are staying in Hokkaido, there are two times that our friends forgot their belonging in the shop, however, the staff always manage to track us down and return the lost stuff. The other thing I learned is that the streets in Japan are definitely the cleanest I have even seen. All the garbage is sorted in order to maximize the recycling. What is more amazing is that the trash cans are not as many as we see in Canada despite the streets being so clean. All of those things demonstrate the discipline of Japanese people. From our high school visit, we could see how Japanese are educated in this way since childhood. Many Japanese think not as an individual, they act selflessly upon on the benefit of group. It seems the discipline of samurai spirit is undead after all.
